1 Question about making requests on a url to find new submissions?

Hi, this might be the wrong place to ask but I'm very new to anything related to this. I'm trying to figure out how I could find new submissions on a specific url/page. For example, I would have a script running on a specific news site page (that lists new articles when they're posted) and every time a new article is posted, it would notify me(?) or just spot it(?). Is this possible and is this the right place to ask? If yes, where would I start about learning how to do this?Thanks a lot
